tional Bank Building, Stafford Springs, Conn
 deem the best service can render to my patrons is to point out the ways and means by which they can best serve themselves In bringing to knowledge facts which upon in vestigation prove the existence of opportunities by which they may derive lasting benefits, my duty is half performed. It must be apparent that one whoss associated with and connncted by intimate relations with those who are upon the ground, and whose special business it is to watch and to know, is'' best able to judge when opportunities are fairest There is at present no excitement, no ''boom,, in fact nothing to disturb the normal condition of things, but on the contrary matters seem to have settled down to stable, old fashioned basis, but show clearly the clements of success and permanence. While crops have not been so superintendent as to flood the country with a cheap and unstable surplus, there is plenty everywhere, and especially in the western counties of Kansas there is large surplus for
 
 export at tempting prices. I assert that the present conditions are conspicuosly favorable for sound, conservative work, and that Se- curities selected now have the crowning ad- vantage of normal basis of values There 10 nothing to create visionary or inflated values, and land can be bought for what it is worth but on the contrary land has a sub- stantial money value, which is easily ascer- tained, and that is the key to the situation.
 Under these conditions the business of in yesting funds upon farm mortgage securi les, and producing a class of paper absolutely beyond question in every point of safety and convenience, becomee an exact science, and the only condition of perfect work is mastery of the science. I Imay be permitted to say, without vanity, the immense success attend ing the sale of mortgage securities has carried me to the rare and enviable position from which I can point to the work done, and let it tell the story. Let the hundreds of invest ors, great or small, for whom have dis charged great and responsible trusts, one and all come forth and testify, and I will abide the verdict
 Any list of oans might furnish could only serve as temporary guide. But as- sure old friends and new that all orders shall be filled with my best judgement. And in all the years of my business have never ask ed 6 man to take a security that was not ab- solutely 6rst-class and satisfactory in every detail.
 Bonds and mortgages in denominations of $2oO, $500, $4OO, $5oO, $500, $7OO, $500, $1 900 to $10, 900 each.

Killed His Guest.

A dispatch from Moorefield says
that Frank Grayman, young man
from Lawrence county, Ohio, who
has been visiting friends at Caper-
ton, Hampshire county, for few
DAYS, was murdered there late on
Friday afternoon by John Scalor, a
young married man, with whom
Grammar had formerly close ac-
qualntanceship. The two men, in
company with Mrs. Scalors, went
out for stroll after dinner. y dis
pute arose between Scalors and
Grammar over some trifiing matter.
and Mrs. Scalors took the part of
the visitor against her husband,
Scalors lost all control of himself,
and after violent burst of passion,
in which he accused Grayman OF en-
deavoring to entice his wife from
him, he drew revolver and fired
three times. The first shot entered
Grayman's breast, and he fell dead
at the feet of the murderer and his
wife. Scalors was lodged in jail
with difficulty, crowds of excited
men following and shouting, Hang
him!n The excitement has since in
creased, and there is a probability
that Scalors will be lynched.

What True Meri, viii Do.


The unprecedented sale OF Bos-
chee's German Syrup within few
wears, has astonished the world. 1t
is without doubt the safest and best
remedy ever discovered for the
speedy and effectual cure OF coughs,
Colds and the seyerest Lung troubles.
1t acts on an entirely different
principal from the usual prescrip-
tions given by Physicians, as 1t does
not dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on
the contrary removes the cause of
the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy
condition. A bottle kept In the
house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save
DOCTORS bills and long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convin-
vince you of these facts. 1t is posi-
lively sold by all druggists and gen
eral dealers in the land. price, 10
cts, large bottles.

Mr.. d. l. Wilcoxson, of Horse
Cave, KY, says he was, for many
years, badly afflicted with Phthisic,
also Diabetes; the pains were almost
uncomfortable and would sometimes
almost throw him into commissions.
He tried Electric Bitters and got re-
lief from the first bottle, and after
taking six bottles was entirely
cured, and had gained in flesh eight
cen pounds. Says he positively be-
lieves he would have died had it not
been for the relief afforded by Elec-

last saturday and will be heralded
abroad as a great demonstration in
favor of Mr.. Camden. But the ac-
ton Of such q meeting in no wise in
dicates the popular judgment; it
simply shows that the tools Of mo-
nopolv have succeeded in Temporal
rilv binding some well-meaning cit
izens. If the promoters of the
Marion county meeting had meant
TO deal fairly with the public they
would have invited some man like
Chew, Lucas, FlournOy or Price to
be present and give the people the
reasons which actuste those who are
trying to rescue this State from the
clutches of monopoly. But discus
sion is the yery last thing Camden
managers want. Their aim is to
control the peopleby deceiving them.
1t is very absurd to suggest that the
solid, thoughtful members of the
party in Marion prefer Camden for

FIVE MEN LYNcHED.-A body of
100 armed men last Tuesdey night
rode up to the jail yard in York
Vile, S. c., forced an entrance and
dragged therefrom five negro men,
who were confined, waiting trial for
the murder of young white boy,
and hanged them to some trees out
side of the city. The negroes who
were lynched belonged to q band
who were pledged to kill any one
who detected them stealing. The
lad they murdered had caught the
negroes stealing cotton from his
fathers field
